PyQt5 QCommandLinkButton – Getting Description Text

In this article we will see how we can get description text of the QCommandLinkButton. Description text property holds a descriptive label to complement the command link button text. Setting this property will set a descriptive text on the button, complementing the text label. This will usually be displayed in a smaller font than the primary text. It can be added with the help of setDescription method.

In order to do this we use description method with the command link button object

Syntax : button.description()

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It returns string

Below is the implementation

# importing libraries

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui

import sys


class Window(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")

        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 500, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()

    # method for components
    def UiComponents(self):

        # creating a command link button
        cl_button = QCommandLinkButton("Press", self)

        # setting geometry
        cl_button.setGeometry(250, 100, 200, 50)

        # text
        text = "GeeksforGeeks"

        # setting description text
        cl_button.setDescription(text)

        # creating label
        label = QLabel("GeeksforGeeks", self)

        # setting label geometry
        label.setGeometry(50, 100, 200, 80)

        # making label multiline
        label.setWordWrap(True)

        # getting description text
        value = cl_button.description()

        # setting text to the label
        label.setText("Description Text : " + str(value))




# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
